@Mean Eyed Matt Nice beard … ;) I haven't been shaving myself for 10 days and the more hairy the face gets, the more I like it.

That would be no "smiley", rather a "disgustey."

Well, actually, in such letters I have already seen things such as "Despite steering wildly left and right, I didn't manage to avoid a collision with the aforementioned tree." Or: "My car slided along the guardrail, turned over multiple times, and hit a tree. After this, I lost control of my...

I love to use this one (with the dark green bottle) as soon as I pursue my work for the care of homeless people. It gives a pleasent scent (especially in the cold season) without being braggadociously perspicatious like Hermès or Cartier, which would be inappropriate within this environment...

Dear Fellow Gentlemen! Now, as the fourth decade of my dire abundance on this impressingly perilous planet is heading straight towards its mid-point, I made the decision to again push the quest for the "Holy Grail of suits" to new boundaries. Preliminary Checklist The last suit I bought was...

Well at one of the preferred retailers in the vicinities of my premises they still have loads of them …

That goes without saying! I hardly even own any slip-on bow tie. Thank you for your advice. So the black jacket will do.

Dear Fellow Gentlemen, I'm in need of an urgent recommendation and would like to ask you for advice. To make it short: I will spend New Year's Eve with my dearest missus at home. So, nothing official, nothing formal. Yet I will be wearing a tuxedo (that is not negotiable). But which one shall...

Dear Fellow Ladies and Gents. Christmas 2022 is approaching in seven-league boots! Last year, Elton John and Ed Sheeran initiated a project to write and perform a new Christmas pop song that should challenge all-time high Last Christmas by Wham!. The title of the result seems humble – a simple...

My father's first car (he was born in the late 1940s in communist East Germany) was a Moskvitch 410. Of course it was a stick shift car, one reverse gear, three standard gears; according to him, you could run-up in gear 3 and continue ahead on the autobahn in gear 3 as well. The oldest car I...

Does anyone remember that the children’s Happy Meals at McDonald’s were called “Junior Buckets” in some countries until the 1990s?

Dear Fellow Gentlemen, Thank you for your advice. I bought a flacon of Floris No. 89 today and couldn’t be happier with it. Albeit I was required to borrow a mortgage for this kind of investment … Have a lovely summer anyone! Zachary

Dear Ladies and Gents, Yes, you can trust your eyes – Zachary is back. This year in late July, my missus and me start our summer holidays, which we will spend on the Canary Islands. Preparations are fine so far, but now I'm stuck in the quest for a passport case. Of course I already checked...

Dear Ladies and Gents, Guess who's back … yes, it's me, Zachary! Hope you're all doing fine so far. My missus and me booked our holiday the other day, we're heading towards Tenerife in Late July. Plenty of preparations to do prior to that. Albeit I've been collecting a sufficient amount of...
